The Floods Directive Scoreboard

In order to monitor and inform about how well Member States follow the reporting obligations outlined above, an informal Floods Directive scoreboard has been developed. Disclaimer: the table below shows if notifications or reports have been submitted, and if they are complete or incomplete. The table does not, however, give any indication of whether the notified legislation is conformant to the requirements of the Directive, or if the reported information fulfills all requirements of the respective articles. For information about enforcement of EU laws, including on infringements classified by Directive and by Member State, please go to this page.

* If other units of management or competent authorites than used for Directive 2000/60/EC.

Disclaimer: The information in the tables may not necessarily
reflect the latest formal information that is available to
the Commission. Hence, this information does not necessarily
reflect the views of the European Commission. It is intended
for general information to the public but is not the basis
on which the European Commission decides upon the necessity
to launch legal proceedings against the Member States for
not fulfilling the obligations of the Directive.

Reporting

In order to improve access to environmental information and the availability of reports, the European Commission (DG Environment, Joint Research Centre and Eurostat) and the European Environment Agency have developed an electronic data and information system on water called WISE (Water Information System for Europe).

A Concept paper on "Reporting and compliance checking of the Floods Directive" was approved by the Water Directors of the EU Member States in 2009. On this basis, the Water Directors approved a number of reporting sheets that have been compiled into a "Guidance for Reporting under the Floods Directive". These documents are available in the Floods section of CIRCABC.

The reporting under the Floods Directive is carried out via WISE. An on-line map viewer is available.
